David Bowie - Starman (Top Of The Pops, 1972)

[@baldvale5418]

David looked like he was having the time of his life and so relaxed and into it. This is an absolute Gem.

When ever I see Bowie’s earlier performances like this one, a smile naturally appears on my face, not only because I like his music so much, but due to the fact that he will go on to create so many more iconic albums and songs from here - along with the fact that David himself in the recording is not yet aware of his future feats. Long live David, and may you rest in peace.

This was the exact moment as a 13 year old I became a Bowie fan for ever, watching this again 50 years later I can see why. Looking at it now with older more mature eyes I can see this is the moment Bowie knew he had really made it, they look to be genuinely enjoying every second. Loved every second of that

[@peregrinec5477]

I think I was 6 years old when I first saw, "Ashes to Ashes," on the Showtime, as filler. Several years before MTV started. I was alone in my living room and I was actually waiting for some kiddie film to start. But, when that video came on...Wow. I was so in awe. For a few moments, I thought I was watching something I shouldn't be. But, I felt the same way the first time I watched Monty Python a year or so earlier. My parents didn't seem to care then. So I watched this video...Then right after that video, Gary Numan's, "Cars," was next. I found myself that day. :)

[@omnivorous65]

@@self-proclaimedanimator In most other human fields I would have scoffed at the notion that everything was better in the past as one of those tropes that are repeated ad nauseam for - literally - millenia. But I agree that current pop and rock music has reached a creative low point. The reason is unfortunately the digitization of music both in creation and reproduction. Simply speaking, you cannot make any money from it anymore and so a lot creative talent simply evaporated. Back in the days, you had to buy a record if you wanted to listen to music. It was a lucrative business to be a creative artist. Today you swap files, download them, go to youtube, etc. The artists are screwed, you cannot make a living from it and the most talented people find different professions. There is hardly any live music that is not performed by established artists. Check out bill-boards for concerts and on offer is mostly a very geriatric bunch of musicians and bands. Making music computer or even AI assisted allows everyone with minimal talent to produce something that is at least decent. In the end it just generates sludge. There has to be a lot of talent out there, there always is, but the conditions to nurture and develop that talent have deteriorated. A real bummer. We are cheated out of great new music.

Love that this song is having such a resurgence - was one of my favs back in the day! And David's performance is just so amazing - relaxed, in tune with his bandmates and audience, and so supremely confident in his talent.

I just can't get enough of this video! So, so, SO, cool. Bowie and his buddies in band just jammin' and living it up! Love the colors from the period and lights and his voice....WOW. An original voice that you can never mistaken him for any other vocalist. Rest in peace man! 🙂.

Only thing I don't like about this version is the muddied guitar just before the each chorus. Sounds much better on the album than this version. But I'll deal with it since the rest of this version is better 🤣

What's worse about that is that the tone sounds better (slightly, but better) during the solo at the end

My dear mum loved Bowie from a young age and his music was a regular sound throughout my childhood. She passed away last year, and we had Ziggy Stardust playing at the end of her funeral. I can remember her singing her heart out to that song, especially the ending😄 I miss her so much 💔

[@stevewilldo3056]

My Mum was the same. Lost her nearly two years ago, but still got childhood memories of me and my sister sitting with her while she taped Bowie songs off the radio. Thought about having Life On Mars at her funeral, but didn't want to cry every time I listened to it. Turns out I do anyway. Your Mum sounds really great, I'm sorry they're both gone

[@janeemily2509]

My Mama is 90 and loves Bowie and my eldest son who has just turned 40 is a huge fan too. As I’ve already said it was the moment he broke the fourth wall on Top of The Pops in 1973 that a 13 year old me was convinced he was pointing just at me. That evening David Cassidy was erased from my heart and from my bedroom walls. By Saturday Bowie had replaced him and I’ve never faltered. Even now I have a framed Aladdin Sane album cover my children gifted me. It’s on this old lady’s bedroom wall. I asked for money this Christmas from my Mama & Sister and I’m going to have a small tattoo of the lightning bolt on my forearm.

It still makes me giggle watching the kid in the tank top watching himself on the monitor, oblivious of the momentous occasion this was. A wonderful piece of TOTP history. Love it xxx

[@geoffpollock6892]

I watched it back then and have several times since and you are absolutely right. I thought the same back then as I do now. You wonder where he is now and whether he revels in that bit of history "that's me - really!" or whether he lived a life of embarrassment continually denying his moment of fame. It's not as if he could even dance!!! :-)

I always thought this iconic performance deserved to be on his official KZbin Channel.

The 14 year old me was blessed to see this performance go out live on TOTP in 1972, just before heading out to the local youth club. Everybody was talking about it. It was played for weeks to come. The fact that this performance made my parents feel uncomfortable and the feeling that David had given all young people the nod to be a little weird and be comfortable with it was the icing on the cake.
